New Mexico Environment Department Ground Water Quality Bureau The New Mexico Environment Department (NMED) Ground Water Quality Bureau (GWQB) hereby provides notice that the following Groundwater Discharge Permits have been proposed for approval. NMED will allow 30 days after the date of publication of this notice for submittal of written comments and/or a request for a public hearing for a permitting action. Requests for public hearing shall be in writing and shall set forth the reasons why a hearing should be held. A hearing will be held if NMED determines that there is substantial public interest. After the administrative record for a permitting action is complete and all required information is available, NMED will approve, approve with conditions, or disapprove the Permit based on the administrative record. NMED maintains a Public Involvement Plan (PIP) for each permitting action to plan for providing public participation opportunities and information that may be needed for the community to participate in a permitting process. PIPs may be viewed on-line at https://www.env.nm.gov/gwqb/public-involvement-plans/. Due to the Public Health Emergency, instead of placing a copy of the PIP for this permitting action in a public location, NMED will make the PIP available to the community by sending the PIP by email or US mail to any community member requesting a copy at no cost to the requester. An individual may request a copy of the PIP utilizing the Bureau contact information in this public notice. Please specify how you would like the document delivered. If you request a copy of a PIP, you will receive a revised PIP should the PIP be updated in the future. NMED maintains facility-specific mailing lists for persons wishing to receive associated notices or provide input for a PIP for a permitting action. To learn more about a Discharge Permit and the permitting process, to be placed on a facility-specific mailing list, or to obtain a copy of a draft permit or PIP, contact the NMED Permit Contact at the number or address provided. Draft permits may be viewed on-line at https://www.env.nm.gov/gwqb/public-notice/. Comments or a request for hearing regarding a draft permit should be addressed to the GWQB, PO Box 5469, Santa Fe, NM 87502-5469, or emailed to the NMED Permit Contact.
